Common questions
Yes. DeployPulse is a fully drop-in replacement for the Microsoft CodePush service. Your existing React Native app using the react-native-code-push SDK needs only a server URL change, with no SDK modifications and no native rebuilds.
AppZung's entry plan starts at €20/month (~$22 USD) for 10,000 MAU, with their production tier at €400/month. DeployPulse's paid plans start at $9/month in USD with no currency conversion surprises, and include features like auto-rollback, version adoption curves, and webhook notifications that AppZung doesn't offer at any tier.
Yes. DeployPulse monitors the error rate on every new OTA release and automatically rolls back to the previous stable release when the error rate crosses a configurable threshold, checked on a 5-minute interval, then notifies you by email. This is configured per deployment.
DeployPulse includes a version adoption curve showing per-label download accumulation over time (cumulative or daily, 30/60/90-day windows), per-country geo analytics, and signed CDN URLs for secure package delivery. AppZung's custom analytics are limited to their Enterprise tier.
Yes. DeployPulse supports RS256 JWT code signing for OTA releases, allowing you to verify bundle integrity end to end. You generate a key pair, upload the public key to DeployPulse, and the CLI embeds a signed JWT in every release, which the SDK verifies on-device before applying an update.
Yes. DeployPulse is under active development with regular releases. Features like code signing, auto-rollback, adoption analytics, and webhook notifications have all shipped in 2025 to 2026. You can follow progress on our GitHub.
Self-hosting is on our roadmap and coming soon. In the meantime, DeployPulse is available as a fully managed hosted service so you can get started immediately without any infrastructure overhead.
